“Your Majesty, Meru-Kun has awakened!”
“Thank you for the help Toshino-sensei, I’ll take it from here.”
“Where am I… Takemi-”
“Meru-Kun, please don’t move yet. I am terribly devastated by what’s happened and I can only blame myself for this tragedy, but I need you to listen to me while you’re recovering… please.”
Although Takemi was filled with confusion and wanted to break down, he just couldn’t seem to let his emotions out, it’s like he was relaxed though he wasn’t.
“Your Majesty has assuaged your emotions with electrical charges.”
“Electrical charges..?”
“I also wish for you to listen to us, though is very selfish from our part… continue, your Majesty.”
“Yes, electrical charges. That is part of the power given to me by Kirin-Sama herself via manifestation… I know this sounds crazy but you have to believe me, Meru-Kun”
“I do, I believe in what you’re saying. I promised Takemi I would.”
Akira’s words were enough to break down Yui, that was blaming herself for all of this situation, but she knew she couldn’t break in front of Akira…
“Yuki and I belong to the Kaminari clan, where Kirin-Sama and Raijin-Sama are worshiped, some of us are gifted with abilities given to us straight from the gods themselves; I was gifted with some of Kirin-Sama’s abilities, and Yuki with Raijin-Sama’s.”
Yuki steps in to the conversation to help his sister with the explanation.
“The way we got our powers was very peaceful, your Majesty was born with hers, and I developed mine via a peaceful ritual…”
“...The scroll that Takemi stumbled upon was very different, I was doing some research on the hound of Hades, Cerberus… a very fierce god. Doing a ritual of a god is extremely dangerous and the consequences are brutal… In- in this case, the three-headed-hound Cerberus had bitten of three parts of Takemi since he didn’t see him ‘worth’ giving his powers to.”

Yui explained to Akira. Though she was waiting for questions, he stayed shut.
“What did I expect, it’s my fault for being irresponsible…” She thought.
After a long talk, Yui starts to show Akira around the clan with the intention of trying to better his mental state.
“God damn. Why is this place so big, ya’ll smell rich but ain’t this a bit too much? are we still in Tokyo?”
“I guess it’s not and ordinary nor modern.”
“You guess? Oh well, I imagined we stopped here because it’s where I’m going to be staying.”
“Well yes, you will be staying here for the night, and also… the Kaminari clan will take care of all of your expenses with no exception, from today until I stop breathing.”
“Yui, we both know that nobody is in the wrong. Takemi did take it without permission even though you dropped it by accident. A very unfortunate series of events…”
“Thank you, Meru-Kun. I’ll let you rest now if you need anything just call the room service. Tomorrow we’re leaving as soon as your ready.”
The night, where the stars shine the brightest, the mournful Akira seems to be bathing in the moonlight, losing his only friend, he is now left alone in Tokyo.
“Can’t sleep, Meru-kun?”
“Yui, nah I just like thinking while looking at the stars.”
“Do you believe in astrology?”
“With everything that has happened I feel like not believing would stupid”
“Does it?”
“Well, the constelations do have power, but for somebody to actually be a leo or something like that, they would literally have to be the emodiment of the constelation, or at least be granted the power”
“So those surveys on social media or fake?” Akira said with a dissapointed face.
“W-well kinda, you see-”
“I’m just kidding, don’t worry”
“...”
“Yui… do you think it hurt him?”
“No, I do not think so.”
“Good”, he said with a smile.
“I’m going to rest now, Meru-Kun. Make sure to get some sleep.”
“One last thing…”
“Yes?”
“How can I join this clan?”
